Iron, cobalt and nickel can be magnetic. They can be made to have polarity. Poles that are alike repel and poles which are not alike attract. A magnet will attract all of them if they are not polarized. If they are polarized, a magnet will attract or repel according to the polarity.

Neither.
Magnets attract certain metals, unless the metal is already magnetized, then it could repel it. But the metal does not do the attracting or repelling, as that is the work of the magnet.

inspite of the actual undeniable actuality that there are different a lot weaker sorts of magnetism, the single you're probable speaking about is ferromagnitism. that is made with iron and in undemanding words iron. you need to upload different metals to the iron even if it is going to in undemanding words dilute the magnetism. there's a duality or a north and south pole in magnets. They repel an same pole and entice the different. the present I remembered is that you'll in idea have only a north or south magnetic rigidity, yet none has ever been waiting to be executed with out the different contained in the lab or everywhere.
